What Bible Says That?

In her Earth day proclamation the other day, the Speaker of the US House said these words, "The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.'

Maybe I'm just ignorant of the Scriptures (although I don't think that's the case.) The fact is, that's not in the Scriptures. Not in the Old Testament as she claimed. Nor in the New Testament. It's not even a close paraphrase of anything in the Bible.

Beware when politicians begin spouting "Scriptures" to further their agendas. This whole conservation/global warming/going green movement has seemingly become a religion unto itself. Now apparently, they have their own Bible.

I wonder why she would say that when clearly people will realize it's not in the Bible?

How odd! And sad!

We had a prisoner who was a regular attender at the church services in the jail (despite claiming to be a buddhist) who almost every week would say, "The Bible says/Jesus says: Know thyself first/Love thyself first". I think he genuinely thought it did but I'm not sure - he was in for fraud and was pretty plausible! It was annoying though as he wouldn't take "No it doesn't" for an answer...

There are thousands of little glass spheres put in paint so a lot of light can be reflected. We can create the shortcut for hibernate as a replacement of the manual process (one time carrying out this manual steps in Control panel after that make use of the created shortcut icon by Pressing "Windows key" pursue by U pursue by H).If you have a bit of urgent work at outside for long period, in that condition use the hibernate mode instead of using suspend mode. You can use superior quality packing tape also in purchase to be certain your things inside of are not likely to fall out and to stay clear of also the shippers to look and feel into your stuff and perhaps open up them.
